Gosh I absolutely love this place. Aside from the sticky floors, I love the live music, pool, life sized Jenna, mini arcade, and decent priced drinks. The ambience is definitely chill and everyone's nice. I'm not a Jell-O shot kinda gal, but we gave in and had some. They were definitely worth the money- fuckin strong! Not crowded and definitely fun place to hangout!

Go here a lot on fridays for the 5$ pycher of adios motherfucker, got a real pretty bartender I always go see, shes as sweet as any bartender i've met on dirty sixth. Never had a bad time here, just wish they'd play less country but hey, it's texas.

One of the best bars on 6th! We went there on a Wednesday night when it was pretty quiet, but one of the guys that worked there, Casey, got us to come back Thursday Friday and Saturday! He made us feel so welcome and made sure we had a good time. All the bartenders are super friendly. The music gets better as the night goes on, turned into a huge dance scene Friday night. Highly recommend checking this place out! Thanks again Casey!

I don't have the slightest clue why this is called Shakespeare Bar and I don't really care. Pete had bought a cigar and we didn't have to look far to find a rooftop bar to smoke it at. The bartender said we were welcomed to smoke on the roof or the backyard. I was like "whaaaa rooooof??? We're staying." Two Lone Stars ran me a measly $6.50.

The roof was open during the day and super chill. Like most bars on "dirty 6" this place lived down to the name. I wish it were a cleaner. But the bartender was mad cool to us and polite. He didn't make fun of my accent (not asking a lot) and he was super smiley and helpful.

This was the second best bar we went to in Austin. I highly recommend especially for smokers.

Pro tip: Happy hour - even on Saturday noon until 8:30pm!

The first spot that we hit up here in Austin on Sixth Street is the ever elusive Shakespeare's Pub. My friend recommended we start our already late night here for one reason on a Friday night:

$5. Long Island. Pitchers.

Yep, it's almost a crime to sell long islands at this price! Nonetheless, I got two going and it made for one great pre-party for the rest of the evening. Admittedly the drinks are a bit watered down, but what do you expect when you're paying these cheap prices for some drinks in a very college students-filled street.

We only stayed here for a good 15 minutes before heading out, but we enjoyed the cheap prices and good company that came with the pub. During the daytime, it looks like this place is an actual gastropub with food, so someone will have to let me know how their bites are if they ever visit before 22:00.

After a couple of these cheap drinks, you'll be reciting lines from Hamlet you thought you had forgotten from high school. Fear not because it stays with you!
